  James 'Jim' R. Holden : You haven't been straight with me, Miller. There's something you're not telling me. Oh, really? After all the pain and death you just flip a switch and we're free to go. Just like that. Nice try. I think you were trying to open the Ring gates from the beginning. That was the plan. And what I want to know now is, are we - I mean humanity - are we part of that plan? I don't believe you did it out of the goodness of your heart. It was never about helping us. We know all of our divisions, all of our hatreds. They didn't just magically disappear the moment you set us free. You've given us a new frontier: 1,300 habitable systems on the other side of those Rings. You know we're gonna go. We won't be able to resist. It's gonna be another blood-soaked gold rush. Am I scared? Yeah, you're goddamn right I'm scared. And I think you know why. When you connected me to the Station, I saw something. The civilization that built the Rings is gone. Wiped out. What could have killed them?

  Joe Miller : That's what I'd like to know. Gonna need a ride.

• Jim Holden : We're on the brink right now because we keep reacting to things we don't understand. We scared, we're hurt, and we're reaching for violence cuz we can't figure out what to do. Just this once, can't we try something else?
